Manchester United have been contacted by intermediaries about the possibility of incorporating Neymar into their ranks.
90min reports that along with United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City have also been keeping abreast of Neymar’s situation in France.
The Brazilian’s future at Paris St-Germain is not certain.
Despite enjoying a stellar season in which he has scored 17 goals and 16 assists in 28 matches, the Ligue 1 club bosses still have no guarantee of retaining Neymar’s services beyond the end of this season.
His current contract at the Parc des Princes will end in 2025.
Graeme Bailey and Tom Gott broadcast that PSG are in no hurry to get Neymar out. However, the higher-ups would be open to a departure if interest in the player is registered.
Neymar himself is interested in a change in the Premier League.
“In fact, it is believed that the intermediaries spoke to Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle, informing the clubs of Neymar’s interest in moving to the Premier League, as well as his possible availability.”
“It is also understood that Neymar’s name was mentioned during a recent meeting between Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly and his PSG counterpart Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who were scheduled to discuss other issues.”
“Boehly has held regular meetings with a number of leading executives across Europe in an attempt to boost their connections, and it is understood that he has scheduled a meeting with Al-Khelaifi to discuss the failed loan move of Hakim Ziyech, whose move to PSG was not finalized. on time last month.”
In the meeting between Boehly and Al-Khelaifi the issue of Neymar’s immediate future came up.
Boehly would be keen to facilitate such a transfer, and the Chelsea owner is said to be intrigued by the prospect of Neymar lining up for the Blues’ next campaign.
A possible departure for Neymar could also be motivated by a reported break between the striker and sporting director Luis Campos.
Due to recent poor results, Campos pointed the finger at the PSG stars for their lack of aggressiveness. This did not go down well with Neymar, who had a heated exchange with Campos.
